SURF RESCUE by karin taylor / ink pastel acrylic and charcoal on canvas textured paper / the original aussie lifesaver chick on patrol at her local beach…swim between the flags folks..and right in front of the surf livesavers zincy noses….. My lifesaver chic sports a white onepiece swimsuit rivalling Miss World Australia’s figure….lashings of zinc cream on her nose for sun protection, and a pair of binoculars, really looking the part here…...and also looking pretty chilled, a common trait of most lifesavers on oz beaches :) There is a rubber duckie in the vicinity too…just in case…. i don’t do many skinny chicks, so she’s a bit of a rarity ‘round these parts! lol

Boats line up for a heat at the Anglesea SLSC Surf Carnival. Board racing and swimming events at the other end of the beach,
Shot at Burleigh Heads beach, just before the big storm, very dramatic sky that day gave me a lot of opportunity to shoot some National geographic style images. The speed boat is added in but was taken to the while we stood and chatted. -This is Patrol Captain Darren Solomon, good on ya mate!._ Shot on a Nikon D700 this 17-35mm Lens.
Believe it or not, the photos as shown, from top to bottom, left to right, are in the correct sequence. Such was the unpredictability of the surf at Fairhaven, Port Fairy’s A grade crew crew was battered and dumped several times as they fought their way off the beach. They regained control on two occasions, only to finally be squelched…. The crew comprises, from bow to stroke, Les Lynch, Peter Hill, Stuart Green and Greg Dalton. The sweep is Paul Buchanan

Please Visit kjgordons site and view his interpretation of Beach Bums its’s awesome ! Summer on most Aussie beaches,men and boys don their “budgie smugglers”and take to the water in their surf lifesaving boats ! The “budgie smugglers” are pulled up through the cheeks so they don’t slide on the seat when they jump in ! / They do an amazing job keeping us safe on our beaches !! Budgie Smugglers – {Australian slang term for men’s tight-fitting Speedo-style swimwear. The ‘lump in the front’ apparently resembles a budgie when it is stuffed down the front of someone’s shorts} although who would want to shove a budgie down the front of their shorts is beyond me …...........
